This is goooood!&quot; I&#39;m sure this dish will become a staple at our house! ***For those of you wondering whether it&#39;s worth your time to use the food processor to make your own ground chicken, I promise...it makes a huge difference. Ground chicken from the grocery store can really dry out your recipe. This was the first time I used chicken thighs for the ground chicken component of a recipe, and I will do it this way going forward! ***<br /><br />I just made a few changes to omit some of the sweeter components of the recipe since we prefer more savory flavors: no sugar in the sauce for the ground chicken/mushroom/water chestnut marinade; &amp; made my own hoisin sauce (4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce,2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar,1 garlic clove, finely minced, 2 teaspoons sesame seed oil, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper).

Layered depth of flavor, great texture. We could hardly believe we were still following our WW diet! We added some finely diced onion to the meat when in the wok, and I sprinkled some julienne cut red peppers upon serving, which were great additions. I ground my chicken thighs using my Kitchen Aid attachment, which helped even more with the texture.

It&#39;s thicker and sweeter and is used mainly in sauces and marinades.<br /><br />You need to drop by your local Asian grocery store. It&#39;s great when you can find one where the owners or cashier&#39;s speak English (or your local language) well. Then, they can steer you to the right version. There are all kinds of flavors of soy sauce, but the most commonly used are regular soy sauce and dark soy sauce.<br /><br />Once I went to pick up some dark soy sauce, but the clerks didn&#39;t know English well enough to understand what I was looking for. They grabbed the guy stocking the shelves in the back who knew English well but didn&#39;t know what dark soy sauce was. Yow! Don&#39;t be discouraged, though! It all worked out in the end. Now, I go to a store where the nice Thai lady owner is married to an American. She speaks and understands English well and can help me find anything I need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-90879160372189664732013-02-07T17:19:41.495-05:002013-02-07T17:19:41.495-05:00Dark soy is thicker and a bit sweeter than regular...Dark soy is thicker and a bit sweeter than regular soy sauce. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever seen it in a regular grocery store&#39;s Asian food section. You probably have to go to the local Asian food store to find it.<br /><br />You should do that, anyway. The prices at Asian grocery stores are usually better and you can get all the ingredients you need for this and other Asian dishes. Yum!<br /><br />The only thing that&#39;s odd about this delicious sounding recipe is that the Chinese use sesame oil as a seasoning and never, ever fry in it. Their oil of choice is peanut oil (smokes at a higher temperature than other oils). Peanut oil is what I&#39;ll use and then just add more sesame oil to taste into the meat mixture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126244341111789852.post-67674412651525117432013-01-30T20:04:33.796-05:002013-01-30T20:04:33.796-05:00I can&#39;t wait to try these.
